Superb overview of NASA propfan program circa 1988. Not highly technical but well-presented in historical context, nicely illustrated, and containing several conceptual drawings of potential propfan aircraft. Worth your time.

Nice! It does give technical insights into certain areas and is worthwhile for the irresistibly ironic image below alone!

I'd caption it the An-700M
